What are Nevadas LAST CHANCE Scenic Places?
They are landscapes of beauty or distinctive character with both a pending threat and a potential
solution. An endangered scenic place can be almost any place such as a
scenic vista, a swath of productive farmland, a river corridor, an historic
urban neighborhood or a village center - in danger of being permanently
lost.
A last chance scenic place also faces some kind of threat, whether it be
development sprawl, billboard blight, a new highway, insensitive ridgeline,
drainageway and hillside developments, or other physical or political
changes, that could transform the landscape and destroy its scenic beauty.
Scenic Nevada has selected its rst list of Last Chance Scenic Places in
Nevada. This list of 13 sites spotlights the challenges facing our state regarding
the protection of signi cant scenic places, and offers potential solutions.
Each of these Last Chance Scenic Places is featured here, displaying their
threats and possible solutions.
Scenic Nevada will distribute this brochure statewide to the media, state
legislators, local governments, staff planners and other community resources,
as well as post it on our website, scenicnevada.org. This reference guide
can be used to support legislation, policy or funding efforts in support of
retaining the Last Chance Scenic Places for now and years to come.
Join us in celebrating our states scenic beauty by learning about the threats
to our landscape and how to get involved.
